Zoom

You can zoom in to focus on details or zoom out to see more of a project. Try different zoom options to find the view that works best for you. You can adjust the zoom level using the controls in the Pan and Zoom panel. Alternatively, you can use shortcut keys or the mouse wheel. By default, the mouse wheel zooms in and out. On devices with a trackpad, you can pinch to zoom in or out.
